From the source

Real Madrid’s last visit to Racing Santander ended in a goalless draw on September 21, 2011, when José Mourinho’s side endured a frustrating evening at El Sardinero.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema both started, but neither could break down a Racing team organised by Héctor Cúper. After a defeat at Levante, the result left Madrid with just one point from two away matches.

Mourinho selected Iker Casillas in goal, with Álvaro Arbeloa, Raphaël Varane, Ricardo Carvalho and Marcelo across the defence. Xabi Alonso partnered Lassana Diarra in midfield, while José Callejón, Mesut Özil and Ronaldo supported Benzema.
